So… for those of us who were adults on 9-11, this format is disturbing.

For most of us who aren’t American, this format is funny.

More people died per day from COVID than this attack. More people have died from gun violence since this attack. America has a ton of problems, stop holding onto this attack so tightly for some reason.

To me 911 signified a change in the world. My awareness of global politics got supercharged, and the world seemed to turn into shit all of the sudden

Yeah because before then, Americans were still very isolated. The only “bad stuff” going on was across an ocean one way, or an ocean the other way. Suddenly most Americans actually realized they live in a big world that holds more than just America.

It wasn’t the people who died. It was the fact that the US was attacked by a foreign power.

We can fuck up our own shit fine. But if somebody else is fucking up our shit… then we get salty.

No you don’t. You want to tell yourself, but you get mad at what the media conglomerate tells you to get mad about. You don’t give a fuck that somebody else fucks up your things until it becomes chosen to be popular political rage target then you rage at it

You have said this at least three times. Did you lose your parents on 9/11 or are you just speaking on behalf of others?

And if you lost your parents on 9/11, I would think you would appreciate people making fun of Bush not doing shit about it for minutes when he should have been out of that room and acting immediately.

Eh if you watched a tower fall, anywhere, and laughed, probably consider some shit.

Im all in to dark humor but there’s a gulf to laughing at nsfl stuff while it’s happening live.

This is not laughing about the towers falling. This is laughing about the Bush administration’s terrible reaction to it.

That is true, I likely would. But I would know that internet meme formats are cross-platform and freedom of expression dominates the internet as a whole over other priorities. So, I wouldn’t be able to do anything about it, and it wouldn’t be a great idea to try.

I was an adult on 9/11. I am an American. I watched the second plane hit live on TV.

Bush being told that it happened and sitting there like the moron he is for a long time before excusing himself is not part of the tragedy. It is absolutely something to be mocked. And this is funny.

I was orphaned on that day. It’s not funny for me. But I think it’s okay it’s funny to you. But I think if our positions were reversed you wouldn’t find it quite so funny.

Did you read what I wrote? Because I don’t think you did. The only reason I can think of that you would find mocking George W. Bush on 9/11 offensive is if you voted for him. And if you did, I think we can disregard what you have to say.

If you have sensitives, you should work through them on your own or in counseling. Maybe you’re not ready to view memes/jokes like this one, it’s okay to keep scrolling without sharing your personal trauma. I appreciate your perspective but it is very unique.

dump a cup of baking soda and a cup of white wine vinegar, wash again, they’ll be fine.

Vinegar and baking soda will cancel each other out. I would just use regular white distilled vinegar, don’t need to use the fancy stuff on it.

they react, they don’t equalize, and the results do a fine job of cleaning / removing smells. look, I’m not going to try to convince you your understanding of chemistry is incorrect, but try it before you knock it.

washing anything that got moldy (like cloth napkins from the kitchen that sat in the hamper) / funky - I use a solid tablet detergent (blue land plastic free) and a baking soda / vinegar. works great.

Brah you shouldn’t be using tide pods regardless. They’re no good for your wallet or the environment.

I don’t use them myself but sort of get why people use dishwasher tablets, but laundry pods/tabs make zero sense to me. Not all loads are the same size.

How so? I guess they are more expensive but I can afford like $2 per pack for the convenience of just throwing them in. Am I doing it wrong? Serious question
